Colonial Heights Public Schools kicked off the new school year with our first-ever CHARGE: Colonial Heights Achieving Readiness, Growth, and Excellence event!

All CHPS employees came together for a day filled with learning, collaboration, connection, and plenty of Colonial pride. From engaging professional learning sessions led by our own talented staff and community partners to opportunities to connect, recharge, and celebrate together, CHARGE showcased the incredible knowledge, expertise, and energy that already exist throughout our division.

A huge THANK YOU to our presenters, planning committee, community partners, sponsors, and every CHPS employee who brought their enthusiasm and made our inaugural CHARGE event such a success! 💙❤️

Here’s just a glimpse of an incredible day! 📸

⚡ Powering Readiness. Fueling Growth. Driving Excellence.
